His zeal, not witht;-..nding he was not a member of the Society , wou ld st.,l continue unabated in the good cause, as he was convinced that a liberal system of politics tended to pro mote the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people. He should, therefore, promote the objects of that Association by every means in his power. It was then proposed that the subscription be paid into the Warwick and Leamington Bank. An early meeting of the General Committee was ap pointed, in order to make every necessary arrangement pre vious to the Revising Barristers holding their Court. A vote of thanks was then proposed to Sir Charles Tbrockmorton for his conduct in the Chair. Sir CFIARLES returned thanks, and the meeting separated. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 20. GREAT MEETING IN_WICKLOW TO ADDRESS HIS MAJESTY ON CORPORATE REFORM, &c. (Abridged from the Dublin Evening Post.) This meeting, which was called by the High Sheriff, pursuant to a requisition signed by a great number of the Nobility and Gentry of the county Wicklow, was held yesterday, in the town of Wicklow. Not the slightest dis turbance took place, but every one seemed animated with the greatest enthusiasm. A rumour had been prevalent for some days that it was the intention of the Conservatives of Wicklow to interfere and upset this meeting, which, no doubt, added to the desire of the people of the county to appear and assert their opinions on the vital questions to be submitted to them. However, with the exception of the Hon. Member for Bandon, Mr. D. Jackson, the assembly had not the pleasure of other Tory's society. It should be added, that although the question of Corporate Reform was the one which appeared to bring this vast meeting to gether, yet the great one of Tithes could not be passed over, and formed, accordingly, a principal feature in the day's proceedings. JOHN PAItNELL, Esq., High Sheriff, was called to the Chair. Earl PITZWILLIAIf rose to submit a series of resolutions which he had prepared. On his appearance he was greeted with loud plaudits. He then proceeded ; Gentlemen, I have taken a very different view of Municipal Reform from the House of Lords, in general I am inclined to ascribe that difference in opinion to my greater knowledge of the people of this country, and more intimate acquaintance with their character and habits, than that which falls to their lot.— ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is my conviction, gentlemen, that Municipal Reform may be granted to the Irish people with as much be ne fit an d a s much safety as it was granted to the people of England ; but for this opinion I am in debted to my long connexion with you.—(Hear, hear.) The great majority of the House of Lords have no con nexion nor acquaintance with you, and the opinions which at once force themselves upon my mind, will, for that rea son, be longer in reaching theirs ; but, depend upon it, if you pursue the course which I recommend, you will bring conviction home to the minds of those who have been your bitterest opponents, and von will obtain that justice which is your right.—( Hear and cheers.) What stronger proof can I give you that this Opinion is well founded than the manner in which Catholic emancipation was carried ?. Now. gentlemen, I beg you to observe this fact—that question Iva; lorg debated in Parliament ; it was frequently carried in the Commons ; it was frequently rejected in the Lords ; and at length the people of England, in the exercise of their round sense, and not under the operation of threats or inti midation, devised this great act of Christian charity and jus tice.—( Loud cheers.) I will venture to affirm, that of one hundred men who were then opposed to that measure, there is not one now to be found, who is of opinion that it ought rot to have been granted. What do I infer from this ? F ay that the same sound sense that induced the English people to grant Catholic emancipation, will induce them to grant Corporate Reform. I say that, if the great majority of the Irish people set their hearts upon that measure—if they set about it with patience and perseeerance—lou may depend on it they w:ll obtain it.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) J shall now read to you the resolutions, which, in coajunc tien with other gentlemen, I shall have the honour of pro posing for your adoption. The first resolution is to this Effect :—" That this meeting deeply deplores the rejection by the House of Lords of the Bill for Corporate Reform upon Ireland." The second states—" That the abuses which prevail in the Municipal Corporations of Ireland are undeniable, and that this meeting has reason to believe that their existence has been acknowledged even by those who have been instrumental in the rejection of the measures de signed to remedy them." Third—" That the arguments upon which the rejection of the Irish Corporation Bill was funded would, if pushed to their full and legitimate conse quences,'justify the abolition of every free institution in Ireland—( Hear, hear)—and thus deprive the Irish portion of the British nation of all security for the enjoyment of their civil and political rights and privileges."—(Hear, hear.) The fourth resolution refers to a motion or suggestion which, if I mistake not, was made in Parliament, that all corporate property should be placed under a Commission to be appointed by the Crown. The effect of this, you will observe, gentlemen, would be to take from the people at large the management of their estates, and to place it under the control of the executive government. Now, I am greatly attached to the present Government, but not so much as to lose sight of all constitutional principle, and place even in their hands the vast mass of property which belongs to the Corporations.—(Hear, hear.) My fourth resolution, therefore, is, " That any proposition for vesting corporate property in the Crown, is inconsistent with the principles of the British constitution, and calculated ulti mately to perpetuate rather than to remedy the grievances complained ot."—(Cheers.) Fifthly, " That this meeting is of opinion that no security can be obtained for the admini stration of corporate estates without the establishment of some efficient popular control over those in whom their ad ministration is vested." Sixthly, " That this meeting has no desire to express any opinion with regard to the details of the provisions which may be necessary for the attain ment of this object ; but at the same time it can not refrain from expressing its decided conviction that no measure will be either successful in its opera tion or satisfactory to the people of Ireland which is not founded upon the principles which have been recog nised and adopted in the acts recently prepared for the regu lation of municipal corporations in England." The seventh resolves, " That an humble petition be, therefore, presented to the King, praying, that in the next Session of Parlia ment his Majesty will again recommend to the two Houses the consideration of the abuses which have been proved to exist in the corporations of Ireland, with a view to the adoption of some efficient and satisfactory remedy."—(Hear and cheers.) These, gentlemen, are the resolutions which I have to propose for your adoption. They appear to me best calculated to effect the object for which we arc this day assembled ; and I trust that some gentleman will be found amongst you to second them. The Noble Earl con cluded amid the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. PITZSIMON gladly came forward and seconded the Resolutions which had been just submitted by the Noble Lord. The HIGH SHERIFF then put the Resolutions, which II ere carried unanimously. Mr. J. GRATTA N then came forward, and was loudly cheered. He said the Noble Lord bad alluded to the question of Catholic disabilities. When he (Mr. G.) was first returned for the county they all knew the situation in which they were placed —no Catholic got employment or held office. Since then,by perseverance, they had succeeded, and all Irishmen now stood on equal footing. The enemies of the people, the Tories, were giving way every day. When the Noble Lord's father was Lord Lieutenant in Ireland some forty years ago, and his (Mr. Grattan's) father had the ho nour of advising and councillin g ;h f —m--- ( a voice, " the me mory of Grattan for ever")—(Loud chee l r B s 2 ) 97 hheadwtahse mo desty, office dis missed from by that party who, in or rather the confidence, to propos e the measure— Catholic emancipation—for supporting which they hadTdhiast missed him. — (Cheers.) Mr. G rattan concluded an elo quent speech by proposing the following resolution :___.“ no peace or content can exist in Ireland until the tithe ques tion ,s, .#..,,i„ . i 5_ ...„.,:1.( t I s l e_ ll a l n e ii, d nc a Gt r i l si. ] N :i , r . exis tingincip,leisavcinonn.seisutieon,tis,wdititthjeustliicieolltosh,_ , j:: f ,Tini,n„tk,egre.Nsitlys, a n rid lTT sa A t N isf . i i teto , r , y to „ the_ great body of the .;,..1„ :,,:..,; t p icit e , o_pl o e. 4 " ,,, - 4 ( i C h e ee a r r s e .) . ~,:rc,,.:,.. , 1 1 A lf I r t . h N isizi li T T o A fo L r m seconded foarn pri noiot t ii l .l l .oe e fdi tp.c 0 resolution, p‘N,lerh,yil s ri N l . f., ll l y i c on h .Lei pganosteseedd justicen .t una nimously. R. HOWARD, Esq., M.P., then read the next resolution,. which declared that the obstinate refusal by the majority of the House of Lords to sanction all measures of reform in Ireland, accompanied as it was by an insulting tone upon the part of some individuals, is injurious to the freedom and peace of this part of the empire, calls for our marked displeasure, and, it persevered in, must prove incompatible with our rights as a free people. Mr. J. BYRNE seconded this resolution, which passed amid loud cheers. Colonel ALLEN proposed the next resolution, which wa to the effect that if the system was persevered in towi.,:ds Ireland, the people would consider it as tending towards a Repeal of the Union, which was intended to confer equal political rights and privileges upon all parts of the United -kingdom, and which alone could subsist on that principle. Mr. ELLIS seconded the resolution, which was put and carried by acclamation. Mr. CIIALLONER proposed the next resolution, which was expressive of the confidence of the meeting in Lord Melbourne's Administration. The Irish people should feel grateful to that Ministry for the exertions they made to procure justice for them during the late Session.—(Cheers ) lifirlT4 e, resolution was seconded by Mr. REDMOND, and (:1-' - ;'. -•- .--9 ' - - THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1836.

The other is the first Chaplain of the Bishop of Leon, and agrees very well with Dutch heretics and the Russian schismatics.

An income tax of 5 per cent. on the nett profit of industry, whether arising from trade, profession, or handi craft. 2d. A tax of 7 per cent. on the rental of all houses let. 3d. A stamp duty on all papers, &c. 4th. A duty of permit on all trades, &c., classified in two classes ; to pay the first, about 7s. 6d. annually—the second, 15s. Surely the Count must be demented to suppose that the Greeks will submit to these imposts, and especially to the inquisitorial provisions of the income tax law. He appears to despise past experience, and sanctions measures which wound the feelings, and sour the tempers of the Greeks against the Government. A few figures will best explain what the present pet Go vernment of Lord Palmerston has done in Greece. Francs. It has received from the Allies to the Ist and 2d series of the loa n 40,000,000 it has received the revenues of 1833, 1834, 1835 27,000,000 Total 67,000,000 It has paid Turkey for the cession of the territory of Zeetoune 11,000,000 Remaining 56,000,000 It has received on advance of the 3d series of the loan 2,000,000 Total 58,000,000 for the expenses of three years, and this without paying a single debt, a farthing of interest of the loans, or undertak ing a single public work of general utility ; on the contrary, it has let the navy be reduced to a shadow of what it was under Capo d'lstrias. The population of Greece is only 750,000 souls. The expenses of its Government since Royalty was established are 20 millions of francs annually, or 27 francs (1/. ls. Bd. sterling) for each soul yearly, being more than the amount paid by the people of Great Britain for the charges of our Government ;—of course I do not take into account the amount disposed of in paying the interest of our national debt. Were the Greeks to pay the interest of their debts, they would require a further sum of 4,500,000 francs annually—. viz. : 80,0001. sterling for the interest annually of the loans 1824-25, without taking into account arrears of 11 years ; 10,0001. sterling for each year's interest on the Ist and 2d series of the alliance loan already received, without reckon ing arrears. These two sums are nearly half the actual revenue of the country. The shameful way in which the Government have squan dered and continue to squander the resources of Greece, and the sums granted by the allies, demands the attention of England ; and before we grant our money we ought to see that some guarantee is offered for its just appropriation. The Greeks cry out against this extravagance—against the host of placemen—and, above all, at not being allowed a representation to check this lavish abuse of the public purse. I fear the young King, whose return is desired, will come imbued with despotic principles ; and if so, it will not be difficult to foretell what will happen. The Count wants energy and political courage ; he might do much—he is liberally disposed, but he fears his own sha dow, and is now surrounded by Bens-d'armes—listening to the alarming reports of interested individuals around him. The Government has instituted an action against the editor of the Sauveur, for a libel on Count d'Armensperg, accusing him of being a Dictator and a Pacha. M. Scouffs, the real editor, although not the responsible one, began to defend the libel, by proving its truth, but was interrupted by the Court. He refused to proceed with the defence, and left the Hall of Audience, when the Court proceeded in his absence to sentence the Gerant to a year's imprisonment and 2,000 francs fine. Scouffe is a scurrilous fellow ; but both he and the Mi nerve tell bitter truths, and are eagerly read. The Count's Journal, the Courrier Grec, is rarely read in the country, but is sent in large quantities to Europe, to enlighten (?) the world. Again I repeat that the system pursued in Greece must be changed. Some check must be given to the people over the Executive, and over the public purse. The allies en gaged a Constitution. Sir E. Lyons asks for a Constitu tion ; but I fancy the powers of the North have a secret influence with the King's father, and thwart the attempts made to improve the condition of the Greeks. Sir Josias Rowley and our fleet are at Syra. The Due de Joinville, Louis Philippe's son, is gone there, but would not honour this capital with his presence. M. Lagrene, the French Minister, has gone to compliment the young Prince. The Greeks are most anxiously looking out for Mr. Wright's bank, and seem to consider it as a means of mak ing them independent, and preventing Greece from being swallowed up by the Government. The natives will then cease to apply for places, and look after their own affairs, and we shall have an upper class in time numerous enough to think and act. At present, in this capital, there are more persons who possess incomes exceeding 2001. per annum, derived from public money, than there are indivi viduals of an equal income derived from private industry or property. Does not this speak volumes ? would you not have, in this town of Wicklow, safe docks to induce vessels to seek your harbour in commerce ; and would not your merchants land their bales on good and commodious quays? On the subject of tithes, much had been already said, but he could not avoid pointing out to their attention language which h a d b een use d w ith re spect to the Irish peopl by the upholders of that impost. — (Hear, hear.) A Conservative dinner had lately taken place at Warrington, and the flag that was raised to give notice of it was elevated from the steeple of the church, as if to endear the people the more to it and its ministers.--(Cheers.) At the dinner Lord Skelmersdale, Sir T. Fremantle, and Mr. Wilkins, a lawyer, were pre sent, yet one of the speakers, talking of the present state of the country, said that " their miseries were the inevitable result of her own prejudices and her own profligacy." He (Mr. Grattan) had never before heard the Irish people charged with profligacy, moral or political, nor could it be borne out unless indeed against the Tories who sold the freedom and the independence of their native land.—(Loud cheers.) At the same dinner it was said that " the anger of Ireland at not being admitted to equal rights was but the peevish quarrelsomeness of children after the posses sions of manhood," and again we are told that our country is " too cruel, too ignorant, and too wicked to be entrusted with power." While such party feeling existed, it behoved the people to proceed with caution and firmness, and their best exertions to secure the country would be to co-operate cordially with the General Association, a body which had fully earned their confidence, and which, like the sea that he saw spreading before him, increased almost impercep tibly till it became a giant in strength and resources. Mr. Grattan concluded by reading the following resolution : " That the thanks of the people of this country are due, and are hereby given, to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for his impartial administration of justice ; and that an address founded on these resolutions be presented to him." Mr. HUME seconded the resolution. Mr. M. ELLis next proposed a vote of thanks to the county Members, Colonel Howard and Mr. James Grattan. The former deserved well of the men of Wicklow, for he came from the ranks of Toryism to aid the people.- -(Cheers.) The highest encomium he could pay Mr. Grattan was to say that he had always been like his sire, the immortal friend of civil and religious liberty. Mr. A. Srms seconded this resolution, which was carried amid the plaudits of the meeting. Mr. JAMES GRATTAN then proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Fitzwilliam, who returned thanks. After which the Noble Lord said—l must now recal your attention to a matter of business. I have read all the interesting resolu tions. There, however, remains one, a matter of form, which it is necessary should be adopted by, this meeting— namely, that a Committee be appointed to draw up a peti tion to his Majesty, in order that signatures may be pro cured to it, and that the High Sheriff be requested to transmit it to Lord John Russell, to be laid by him before his Majesty. Lord FITZWILLIAM was then called to the chair, and a vote of thanks was passed to the High Sheriff for his digni fied conduct in the chair, and for convening the meeting. The HIGII SHERIFF returned thanks, and the v.. , st mul titude retired, having first given three cheers for Lord Fitz william, H. Grattan, and the abolition of tithes. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Constitutionnel states that General Bernard had re luctantly accepted a seat in a Cabinet composed of men whose character and political opinions are opposed to his own ; that he yielded on a last appeal being made to his denouement, and submitted to this necessity with an ill-dis guised resignation. The General was immediately called into the Council, although his appointment had not yet ap peared in the Moniteur. The title of Minister of Commerce, conferred by the .Royal Ordinance on M. Martin du Nord, is, according to the Gazelle de France, an expedient imagined to fill up ostensibly a vacancy still existing in the Cabinet, for M. Martin du Nord continues to evince the same reluctance to accept of the office, and only consented to be invested with the title on condition that he should not discharge functions belonging thereto either in the Administration or in the Chambers. The War Department has been divided into two general directions, with a view to the relief of the titular Minister, and not abuse of his devouement. .M. Mole is still unwell, and M. Martin du Nord is se riously indisposed. M. Barthe was spoken of at one time for the Department of Commerce, but the President of the Court of Accounts is also in a bad state of health.— Gazette de France. • " General Bernard's devouement for the King's person was already known," says the Impartial, " and he has given a new proof of it, by entering through obedience, a Cabinet whose Opinions he does not profess, and which he knows to be already ruined in public opinion. But, in submitting to this pis-alley, the Doctrinaire Ministry have betrayed the measure of its discouragement. It had no other alternative left but to dissolve itself and retire shame fully, or to complete itself at any price, so as to be able to hang together until the meeting of the Chambers. They preferred this last alternative, which insures them the ad vantage of remaining Ministers during at least two months. To-day on 'Change every one spoke confidently of the Par liamentary discomfiture of the coterie. When the Cham bers assemble, the representative Government shall then resume its natural course." We have received private letters from the sloop La Re cherche, dated the 9th ult. She had not then found the slightest trace of the unfortunate Lilloise, although she had penetrated within the icy region of Greenland to a depth that may be said to have been imprudent. The Recherche had lost her cutwater, but had not become leaky, and could, it was confidently hoped, reach home in safety. The want of success cannot be attributed to her commander, Captain Trehouart, who had remained con stantly on deck, taking only two hours rest out of the 24, and that on a bench.—Boulogne Journal. Extract of a letter of the 15th inst. from Toulon : " Major-General Trezel, who is to have the command of the military division of Bona, province of Constantine, will proceed on Sunday by the Phare steamer to Algiers, whence, after a Conference with Marshal Clause], he will go to his post. The Crocodile, which arrived to-day, brings interesting news from the north of Africa. Since Colonel Marcy has been appointed Aga of the plain, most of the tribes have submitted to him. He has been able to inspire with confidence all the great per sonages of these countries. As soon as be was informed of Marshal Clausel's return to Algiers he made it known to the tribes, who hastened to send their sheiks, cadis, &c., to congratulate him. Colonel Marcy was at the head of these personages, whose arrival at Algiers produced an agreeable sensation. A ball was given at Algiers, in honour of the Marshal's return, and was very brilliant. Some groups of Arabs made their appearance on the 7th in the environs of the camp of the Chiffa, where General Ra patel arrived the day before. The enemy, who appeared to be in observation, exchanged musketry shots with the advanced posts, but a few companies sufficed to repulse the natives, who were at this point 2,000 or 3,000, almost all Hadjoutes. According to accounts from Oran, Abd-el- Kader was at Mena, and had given orders to the tribes who adhere to him to draw near Mascara. The Emir must now have a great number of horsemen. Ibrahim Bey has made a sortie from Mostaganem, and did not find any ene mies in the neighbourhood of that place. The markets are deserted, or nearly so. The Neapolitan steamer Ferdinand 11., which conveyed the King home, has returned to Tou lon. It is believed to have come to receive some personage that the Royal family of France will send to the King of Naples, to terminate the arrangements relative to a mar riage.

It was really a magnificent sight, perhaps unique in its kind. The continued bustle, the immense motley crowd of strangers from all parts of Europe, from the coasts of Great Britain to the Bosphorus, thronging the long and broad streets of our city, the pro digious quantity of Hungarian productions, for which there was no room in the warehouses, and which were piled up in heaps in the open air, forming long lines, the legions of magazines and shops in which all the manufactures of Aus tria and Hungary were displayed in the cattle market, many miles in extent, where not only bipeds and quadrupeds in incredible numbers are exposed for sale, but where every requisite for clothing and for the sustenance of man and beast is to be had in abundance ; all this together has cer tainly no parallel in Europe. It is estimated that from 15,000 to 20,000 waggons, drawn by 50,000 or 60,000 horses, were at this fair. With respect to the business done, it was on the whole very satisfactory. The arrests which took place in Hungary some time ago, and of which so much has been said in foreign journals, are confined to four persons. They are young men of noble families, whose papers certainly indicate very culpable de signs and plans. The proceedings against them have com menced. The King's Attorney accused them of high treason, and proposed the penalty of death and the confis cation of their property. Those who are acquainted with the course of judicial proceedings in Hungary are aware that these proceedings may continue for years. The persons belonging to the suite of the Turkish Am bassador at Vienna arrived here the day before yesterday, and will set out again for Vienna to-day. In our county meeting this week it was resolved, after stormy debates, that the county seal shall have a Hungarian instead of a Latin inscription. Now the county is saved!! THE CANADAS. We have this day received Montreal papers to the 20th Aug. and Quebec papers to the 18th Aug. The Montreal papers give the following, relative, to the petition to the Royal Commissioners : " In consequence of the slanderous assertions made by the Montreal Herald and Gazette, as to the means which had been taken to procure signatures to the petition now circulating, and about to be presented to the Commissioners of Enquiry, we, the undersigned, who sanctioned and ap proved of the said petition, do hereby give notice that a Committee will be in attendance at the New Rooms on Friday, the 19th inst., to afford an opportunity to any person who may desire to withdraw his name."

A letter from an impartial and well-informed person, now lying before us, says—" I cannot send you any very important news from Greece. Tranquillity, order, secu rity, obedience to the laws, prevail in the whole country more than ever. If, indeed, you read the Sotir which overflows with gall and bitterness against the Chancellor, because he was not made the editor Minister, you will form a very different opinion, and believe that Greece is hill a state of anarchy and insurrection. We read these articles with a smile, and fancy to ourselves that he is describing, not Greeks, but Bedouins or Irroquois. You may believe such fables and pity us, but we are in good spirits, and think that we have reason to be envied rather than pitied, as we see in the boldness and the attacks of the Sotir only proofs of the freedom of our press. We at least are con vinced that a single word of the Sotir uttered in an en lightened country wonld be considered as highly criminal. This paper, however, has exceeded all bounds ; and that the freedom of the press may not degenerate into licen tiousness, and open an arena to the most infamous ca lumnies, the Government has thought proper to institute a prosecution against the editor. The body of advocates here have offered to defend him, and the trial is fixed for to-morrow. There will be thousands of persons to attend the proceedings, which may probably be more interesting than your theatre. Literature is making a rapid progress. Two young men give public lectures on penal law. Coromela, the Didot of Greece, frequently publishes new works and translations, among which are " Gross's Law of Nature .;" " Munro on the Trial by Jury ;" and translations of Montesquieu, by Ralle and Kokoni, &c.

The Chancellor has been obliged to have re course to several very obnoxious measures to raise the wind, and as the talent of the Count and his subalterns seems to be in making laws which cannot be carried into effect, he will not greatly increase his finances by the late ordon nances. When you think on a Government possessing fifteen millions of acres, one-third of which are cultivable, and these latter worth on an average 51 . to 61. per acre (some lots near large towns, especially in Patras, have been sold for 6001. per acre !) being compelled to have recourse to direct taxation, something must be radically wrong. Al ready there were—lst. The land-tax of one-tenth the gross UNITED STATES. We have received the New York papers to the 25th ult., by the Virginian, which arrived at Liverpool on Monday. CURRENCY.-By the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, made to Congress at the last session, the whole banking capital of the United States, on the Ist of January, 183.5 (not including the Bank of the United States), was 196,250,000 dollars. The whole circulation of those Banks (including the Ba n k o f the United States) was 103,692,000 dollars. The whole number of banks was .557. Since that period, in anticipation of the charter of the United States Bank not being renewed, many banks in dif ferent States have been chartered, with large capitals, to supply the place of branches which it was said would be withdrawn from them. Not only have those banks gone into operation and issued large amounts of paper, but a number of other banks, with large capitals, chartered in 1834, have added greatly to the circulation. We believe that few of our readers will be prepared to credit the great increase of banking capital during the short period since January, 1835, in this country. It is 95 millions of dollars! Almost 50 per cent. in 18 months ! Nor has the increased issues of paper, in our opinion, fallen short of an equal proportion. We have seen a list of 22 banks only, some of which have been chartered and gone into operation since January, 1835, and the remainder of which were previoosly in ope ration, which have added to the circulation of paper, since the Ist of January, 1835, the sum of 19,000,000 dollars. Subsequent to the Ist of January, 1835, the Bank of the United States increased its paper circulation, beyond what it was at that time, 8,000,000 dollars ; and although fully that or a greater sum has since been withdrawn from circulation by that institution, yet owing to the continual expansion by other banks, that withdrawal has not been felt. We are fully satisfied that we speak within bounds when we say that there has been added to the paper part of the circulating medium of the country fifty millions of dollars since January, 1835, or fifty per cent. But how is it with the rage of speculation? Has that not been increased in the ratio, which is the inevitable con sequence of paper expansions ? In relation to this inquiry, others can judge from the newspaper reports of the rise and speculations in property, which have been going on in almost every city, village, town, and hamlet in the United States, for a year past. We confine ourselves to facts within our reach, those relating to the sales of the public lands. These statements are official, and we commence with the account of sales : Dollars. In 1832, which were In 1833 4,972,274 In 1834 6,099,981 In 1835 15,810,795 And in the two first quarters of 1836, we are told, though not ascertained exactly, ab0ut...13,500,000 In addition to the sales of the public lands as above, there was, we understand, sold on account of the Chickasaws, in 1835, to be invested, 700,000 dollars, and in 1836, of the Chickasaw reservations for their own account, 2,500,000 dollars, making the sales altogether double as much in pro portion in 1836 as in 1835 ; nearly six times as much as in 1834 ; nearly seven times as in 1833 ; and about 11 times as much as in 1832. - It is an important inquiry for every individual in the community to make, and to be satisfied of, whether this state of things can last. We are well aware that all those who are interested in speculations, and whose interest it is to have them continue, will answer in the affirmative. We reply in the negative. They cannot last. A revulsion is near at hand, if it has not already commenced. _ . We have already shown the expansions in this country in 1817 and 1818, as well as in England ; and also what followed in 1819, 1820, 1821, and 1822. Now we will show that speculations in the public lands raged to a similar extent then as of late, and now Dollars. The sales in 1816 were 3,567,273 1817 5,022,409 1818 1819 17,681,794 And in the two first quarters of 1820 It should be observed, that the price then was 2 dollars per acre, and now 125 dollars. Then the Government gave a credit to the purchasers ; now the purchasers obtain the credit in the banks. After the Ist of July, 1820, the price was reduced or cash payments required. What was the consequence ? Why, the sales in the last half half year of 1820 amounted to only 424,962 dollars. Dollars. In 1821 1,169,224 1822 1,023,267 1823 1824 953,799 And it was not until 1830 that the sales amounted to more than two millions of dollars in one year. There is another thin.- which will shortly ope ra t e upon the monetary system of this i country ; and that is the ex cessive importations from abroad, which are now pouring into this country from almost every quarter, in overflow ing cargoes. Dollars. In 1835 our imports amounted to 149,895,742 And our exports to 121,693,577 Excess of imports over exports 28,202,165 This excess was probably paid in every part by earnings of ships in freights paid abroad, partly by sale of stocks abroad, and a part was probably unpaid at the close of the year. This year, from present appearances, our imports will be fully or more than 200,000,000 dollars. How is this excess of importations to be paid this year? Will our cotton produce as much this year as it did the last ? It is to be feared that it will not. By the last ac counts the price was on the decline. Can we dispose of stocks abroad to make up this deficiency ? That is nearly impossible. It is well understood that the forced loan made by Biddle's bank, and the high rate of interest paid, has had the effect to lessen confidence in all American secu rities abroad. The amount of specie which has been im ported into this country from England, many people think, will have the effect to diminish the foundation of their paper circulation in England, and consequently to diminish it to such an extent as, ere long, seriously to effect the prices of every commodity.—Washington Globe. MEXICO AND TEXAS. A PROCLAMATION OF BLOCKADE Of the Port of Matamoros, &e., by the President of the Republic of Texas. To all whom these presents shall come, Know ye, that I, David G. Burnet, President of the Republic of Texas, by and with the advice and consent of the Cabinet, do order, decree, and proclaim the Port of Matamoros, in the State of Tamaulipas, and Republic of Mexico ; comprising the mouth of the Rio Grande, and the Brassos Santiago ; and also the inlets, estuaries, and pas sages east of it, that now are, or hereafter may be, in pos session of Mexico, are, from and after the date of this pro clamation, in a state of actual and absolute blockade by the armed vessels of this nation. And for the purposes of carrying this proclamation into complete effect, an armed naval force now is, and will con tinue to be kept, at or near the said port, inlets, and passes, entirely sufficient to enforce this decree. For any breach, or effort at breach, of this blockade, the offending vessel and cargo will be liable to confiscation, and the officers and mariners of such vessel will be subject to all the penalties attached to a blockade. This decree shall take effect as to vessels sailing from New Orleans within three days after its publication in that city, and within five days as to vessels from any other neu tral port within the Gulf of Mexico ; twenty days as to any port of the United States north of the Gulf of Mexico ; and in forty-five days as to vessels sailing from any of the ports of Europe. Done at Velasco, on the 21st day of July, A.D., 1836, and the First of the Independence of the Republic of Texas. DAVID G. BURNET. AlExico AND TEXAS.—By an arrival at New Orleans from Matamoros, papers of that city to the 29th of July have been received. A letter from the American Consul at Matamoros announces that the Mexican Government have opened their ports to all kinds of provisions, during the war with Texas, paying an ad valorem duty of forty per cent. ARMY OF OPERATIONS. The General-in-Chief of the army of operations has re ceived by express the following decree from the War De partment :-- 1. During the war to be carried on against the insurgents in Texas, it will be lawful to import foreign provisions in the port of Matamoros. 2. The duties on said imports will be paid in provisions and stores, which will be taken at the sale prices, and ex clusively destined to the support of the army sent in Texas. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Jose Gomez de la Cortine, Colonel of the brigade del Comercio, Governor of the district, proclaims the following decree, transmitted from the financial department. His Excellency the President ad interim of the Mexican Republic, has sanctioned the following decree, adopted by the General Congress :- 1. The Mexican Government is authorized to levy a forced loan on the whole extent of the Republic, not ex ceeding 2,000,000 dols., in order to make up for the deficit left in the treasury. 2. The maximum of any share shall be 1,000 dols. 3. The certificates delivered as evidence of payment, shall be received by Government, after the lapse of one year, for all contributions and taxes. (Diario del Gobierno.) Extract from a Letter dated Matamoros, July 21, 1836 : " The Cummanche Indians, a•few nights past, came into Matamoros and stole about 700 horses belonging to the Mexican cavalry, and committed other depredations. The Mexican troops, between 3,000 and 4,000, have positively refused to march into Texas, until they have been paid what was due them ; the officers in command endeavoured to pacify them, by saying that the conducta is daily expected from the interior with 200,000 dollars. General Filasola's defence was published in the Mexican papers, and reflects great discredit on the Mexican soldiers. The Texan prisoners in this place are compelled daily (in chains) to sweep and cleanse the streets! JAMAICA. We have this day received Jamaica Papers to the 10th of August. One of these has the following : " The conduct of the special Magistrates in several of the parishes has at last aroused the indignation of the inha bitants, and it will be observed from the Dispatch that the Grand Jury of St. Thomas in the Vale has taken the lead in indicting two worthies, Dr. Palmer and Mr. Harris, as nuisances, in consequence of a system of lop-sided in• justice. " The period of the departure of the Marquis of Sligo is not yet publicly announced ; but it is supposed he will leave his Majesty's ship Fate, on the arrival of the Mada gascar, as it is found impossible to get the old guard-ship, the Magnificent, ready in time to convey so large a suite from our shores, as speedily as it is desirable. It is stated that Lieutenant-General Sir James Lyon is to succeed the Marquis of Sligo as Governor of this Colony. We hope the report is correct, as a more judi cious selection colud not have been made. The St. Jago Gazette of July 30 says, " On Tuesday about 9 o'clock his Excellency the Governor arrived in this town from Port-au-Prince, where he had been conveyed by his Majesty's steamer Dee. His Excellency was two days on shore, and had an interview with General Boyer. He was received with every mark of respect. Everything, it is said, bore marks of the decay and ruin of what was once the finest colony in the West Indies." VAUXHALL.—The second ascent of the gigantic balloon from Vauxhall Gardens took place yesterday. Tho day being propitious and the atmosphere clear, the concourse of spectators both within the gardens and without was far more numerous than on the original occasion. Without the gardens the road was filled with spectators and vehicles of all sorts, grades, and descriptions. Along Millbank thousands were congregated, and Vauxhall Bridge was almost impassable. Within the gardens many thousands had also met together ; the firework gallery, which will hold nearly 2,000 persons, was crammed, and the gallery on the opposite side to it was filled in like manner. The inclosure in which the inflation of the balloon took place, and which was considered as the sanc tum sanctorum of the gardens, was also crowded with exclu sives, amongst whom were a vast number of the Nobility, and many persons connected with scientific pursuits. The walks beyond the boundary of the enclosure were also filled with the curious. The balloon yesterday appeared much more beautiful than on the day of the first ascent. The colours of the silk not being affected by the rain appeared more vivid, and presented a gay and splendid appearance. The car is a new one ; it is decorated with ornaments, and is peculiarly handsome and tasteful. At 11 minutes to 5 o'clock the balloon ascended, amidst the acclamations of the spectators and the sounds of martial music. In the car were Mr. Rush, Mr. Young, Captain Currie, Mr. Woodroffe, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Adams, Mr. Thomas Hughes, Mr. W. Hughes, Mr. and Mrs. Green, Mr. Edward Cocks, and Mr. Burnett. The whole party were in the highest spirits, and evinced no signs of fear or hesita tion. The car is large enough to carry 18 persons ; indeed, 18 persons were at one time in it, and ascended a few yards. The balloon took a south-easterly direction, and continued in sight a considerable time. The number of vehicles in all the approaches to the Gardens on the Surrey side of the water was immense. We have not heard of the occurrence of any accident, but great alarm was occasioned in the Oval at Ken nington by the skittishness of a young horse attached to a break. After being up about two hours the party descended safely in a field belonging to Dr. Scott, near Bromley, in Kent. One of the gentlemen returned to the gardens pre cisely at Eight o'clock. Mr. Green arrived about ten o'clock with the balloon. Sir John Ribton has intimated his intention of visiting his extensive estates in this county, for the purpose of introducing his son to the numerous tenantry, who are making every preparation to give him a hearty and honest welcome ; no: is there probably in the county a more prosperous or happy tenantry. nor in Ireland a more kind and beneficent landlord. It is the intention of Sir John and his son to stay at Cappa more, on the estate.—. Limerick Paper. NORFOLK and NORWICH FESTIVAL NORWICH, WEDNESDAY.—The unpropitious state of the weather had raised some misgivings as to the attendance at the first concert of the Grand Festival, which commenced yes terday evening ; but we are happy to be enabled to state that the fears have proved groundless, inasmuch as upwards of 1 . 9 persons occupied the patrons' gallery, and nearly 7 00 the side galleries and body of St. Andrews' Hall, exceeding conside rably the number collected at the first concert at the last Fes tival in 1833. The streets leading to this magnificent struc ture were crowded with spectators to witness the arrival of the visitors, but the excellent arrangements which had been made prevented any disorder or confusion, and the approaches both (ir carriages and foot passengers were convenient and easy of t e cess. The view of the Hall, as seen from the exterior, was sin gularly beautiful. The strong glare of light from the in terior which illuminated the fine Gothic windows of each side the nave, and those of the aisles presented the appearance of an illumi nated palace. It might almost have been imagined, detach ing one's thoughts from surrounding objects, that a portion of the Alhambra was before you. This very pretty and . inte resting effect was, however, trifling when compared w.ith the splendid spectacles which burst upon the sight on entering the Hall. From the windows on each side of the nave were .sus pended a line of elegant festoons, composed of myriads of small gas burners, which shed a genial and graceful light upon all the objects beneath. From the middle of the finely-propor tioned pillars branches of gas-lights were seen, and over the orchestra a circle of gas, without the formality of a chande nfiee, was let down from the roof. Immediately before the The patrons' gallery a similar plain ring of gas was nung. whole system of lighting the Hall was admirable, inasmuch as there was no disagreeable glare to distress the was soft and subdued. Amongst the occupants of the patron! gallery we recognised the High Sheriff of the county, Marqu is of Northampton, Lord and Lady Suffield, Lord hnd Lady Sondes, Sir W. and Lady B. Proctor, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Scarlett, Sir Edward and Miss Bacon, Sir C. B. Vo?, M. P. ; Colonel Rushbrooke, M. P. ; Sir T. S. Gooch, Sir Jacob Astley, M. P. ; Sir W. J. B. Folkes, M. P. ; Hon. Mr. Keppel, Edmund Wodehouse, Esq., M.P. ; the Chairman of the Committee of Management, Samuel Bignold, Esq. ; the Mayor and Sheriff of Norwich, and several families of dis tinction in the county. After Haydn's symphony had been finely performed by th e band, especially the last movement, the National Althem wa s given, the first verse being sung by Caradori Allan, the secon d by Hobbs, and the third harmonized by Miss Bruce, H. Phil lips, Hawkins, and Hobbs. At this moment, when the audi ence were standing, and the entire band of 400 performers were pouring forth an immense volume of sound, the spectacle was particularly grand and imposing. It was impossible not to be struck with the dazzling beauty of earth's fairest objects-- the ladies who were assembled. It has been our lot to be a wanderer in many climes, and where a summer's sun has burned, and a winter's snow has chilled ; but on no occasion, whether of weal or of woe, have we ever witnessed such a numerous assem blage of beautiful women, perfect in features, and unexception able in form. The classical and patrician caste was remarkably visible. If we might venture to speak physiognomically— {or phrenologically we will not—we should say that the intellectual qualities were as manifest as the merely beautiful. It was a charming sight, and Norfolk may indeed be proud of such daughters. We had almost forgotten that our task is to tre a t of things musical, and not of things physical, and we will therefore return to the programme. Mrs. A. Shaw created some sensation amongst the amateurs, by the very efficient manner with which she sang " Pensa alla patria," and ob tained considerable applause. The debuts of the charming Assandri and of the great basso were of the most flattering, description. Lablache was received with se vera l rounds of approbation, which he acknowledged by singing in his best style. The concert imparted infinite satisfaction, although to the metropolitan musical habit u e it afforded fe w att rac ti o ns, as the pieces have all been so much hackneyed. The scheme Wa s also too long, a besetting sin at the Festivals, which ought to be abandoned as soon as possible. If vocalists and instru mentalists are expected to perform their duties efficiently , they must not be kept from eleven in the morning to four to the afternoon, and th en f rom e i g ht till t we l ve i n the evening. This labour may answer for one day, but the powers of the performers will be materially impaired if such sharp practice be followed up. MURDER.—On Thursday Caillot was put on his trial at Jersey for murdering, by a pistol shot, Mary Jan e , Williams, and on the f o ll ow i ng d ay was f oun d G u il ty , a" sentenced to suffer death. LORD MELBOURNE.—A correspondent of the Liverpool Standard, states that the Reformers in that town have resolved on inviting the Premier and Lord John Russell to a public dinner at the Amphitheatre. Advices have been received from India relative to the projected Railway from Channel Creek to Calcutta. The following observations are from the Bengal Paper of the 23d of May :—" That a Railway is practicable between the taco places there can be no question, the country being nearly level ; the difficulty and expence of such an undertaking would, perhaps, not be considerable, while it would certainly bring a large tract of land, now almost entirely waste, into ad vantageous cultivation. About twenty-fi ve y ears ago , Mr; J. Palmer and some other mercantile gentl emen pro j e ctea some such a scheme—the level of the count r y was ta k en , and an estimate of the expences formed—the plan was considered feasible, but nothing further was done, from the difficulty of raising money. During the time the late Commodore Hayes was master attendant, he, accompanied by some of the most experienced pilots, made several examinations of the inlets 0 the river leadin g f rom t h e sea i nto the Channel Creek, a nd : was very sanguin e as t o t h e pract i cability and great ut ili t y bringing ships through that channel into the Hooghly, in pre ference to the usual route."
